I don't have admin rights on my Windows machine and I am trying to install Go whose installer needs admin rights to complete the installation.
Is there any way to install Go on Windows without admin rights?
Can you download the Windows ZIP archive and extract it to somewhere in your User folder?
You would then need to update the GOROOT and PATH environment variables accordingly.
The question is still relevant and the preceding answer is still correct, but the link should be updated to https://go.dev/dl/ to obtain a Windows zip archive and not the msi installer.
It is also worth noting that environment variables may be found and edited by using the search bar to find "Edit the system environment variables" in the control panel.

I want to create an installer that:
- install a software package
- copy a host file in the user system
without any user installation except launching the installer.
I need this installer to run as admin but I do not want to disclose the admin login/password to users but instead I want to embed it in the installer itself. How can I insert the admin credentials within the installers, please ? Is it even possible ?
I've looked into the forums but did not find what I'm trying to do.
Thank you for your help and support,
Fred
You basically need this:
Make Inno Setup installer request privileges elevation only when needed
(the old code in the second part of my answer with an explicit code for the elevation for Inno Setup 5)
Except that instead of simply re-running the installer with runas verb (which needs entering the Administrator credentials manually), you need this:
Inno Setup run/execute code as another user
I want to install an application which is installing in AppData folder. Normally, they do not need admin rights but still my application is asking for permission. This is an Excel Add-In exe file.
I have tried by using a bypass method, by adding a batch file.. All these did not work for this. I can`t change the privileges of a machine and I need to do modification for the setup only.
Now I`m trying to install this via regedit. I want to add a batch file to the setup. Anyone know how to do this?
I'm trying to package and deploy a wpf application. I used install shield and I have created the setup file. When I try running the setup file it keeps throwing this error code
1925: it needs admin privileges to run the setup.
How do I configure the setup file to be run by any user? Should I make any changes in the registry during the creation of setup file in install shield? Is there anyway to work around this problem?
Thanks
It sounds like you're trying to create a per-user installation. Since Windows Vista, this requires several steps, but was made simpler with Windows 7. I would check a verbose log in case it highlights any specific problems, and if not, follow this general advice:
If this is always a per-user installation, set General Information > Require Administrative Privileges to No and set the ALLUSERS property to empty.
If this is only conditionally per-user, leave them as Yes and 1 respectively, and use the MSIINSTALLPERUSER property with ALLUSERS=2 to select a per-user installation at run time. Note that this only works on Windows 7 (MSI 5.0) and later.
Ensure that your setup.exe, if you are using one, does not elevate. Set Required Execution Level to Invoker in the setup.exe tab of the Releases view.
If you are not using MSIINSTALLPERUSER, ensure that you are not installing any resources to any machine locations. This includes installation files to the ProgramFilesFolder, registry keys to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, or other machine-level items such as Windows Services. Note that you may have to exclude services from MSIINSTALLPERUSER scenarios as well.
I am having trouble with my WiX installation in that I am registering a file extension but because you have to tie every component to a feature, I can't get the feature to install to "All Users"?
Specifically what is happening is I install the MSI under an admin account. The MSI is not located in a shared location that is accessible by all users. The extension appears to register for the other users however when other users click on the file (with the newly registered extension) to open it, it tries to look for the original MSI first to install a feature. If the MSI is found it will open the installed application like normal, otherwise it errors. For the admin account that installed the MSI, it does not ask to install the feature from the MSI (even if I delete the MSI before clicking on a file with that extension)
I have set the installlevel of all the features to "1" and set the TypicalDefault to "install" and InstallDefault to "local". The package is also set to install at the machine level.
Is there something else that needs to be set?
See if this helps: Troubleshooting unwanted self-repairs using the Event Viewer
Basically you need to understand why the repair is happening (which component key path ) and then remediate it. Alternatively you could wrap your MSI with a EXE (WiX Burn) and cache the MSI in a location that users can access if the repair is truly needed.
Can somebody tell me how to install JDK 1.7 on AIX operating system?
What I would like to do is install it in a user accessible directory (for example --prefix=/home/raj) instead of the standard system location.
Thanks,
Raj
